MirrorMask

The new Dark Crystal series on Netflix has given us an insatiable appetite for the fantasy worlds of Jim Henson, so we've plucked another of the company's films out of the oubliette. It's the tale of a young girl who argues with her parents and, after making a terrible wish about a family member that shockingly comes true, sets off on an adventure into a wild fantasy world to set the world to rights. No, it's not Labyrinth – it's MirrorMask (2005), written by none other than Neil Gaiman, featuring cutting-edge CGI and set in a post-apocalyptic hellscape: Brighton. What could go wrong? Quite a lot, actually.Support us on Patreon to nominate films for us to cover, access exclusive bonus content, and vote on the final verdict!Rate and review us on your podcast platform of choice, and tell a friend about us.Follow us on TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and Bluesky.
